Street Fighter’s Ryu Takes On Asura’s Wrath, Awesomeness Ensues

Prepare yourself for a battle of epic proportions! Capcom has released Lost Episode 1 of Asura’s Wrath for the PS3 and Xbox 360. In this episode, Asura finally meets his match as Street Fighter’s Ryu challenges him to a duel. As you’ll soon see, this DLC is pretty awesome. CyberConnect2 did a great job incorporating Ryu into the game while staying true to Street Fighter’s roots. A mission list with multiple challenges unlocks after completing the episode, so there’s quite a bit of replay value as well. Not bad for two dollars.

Lost Episodes 1: At Last, Someone Angrier Than Me is now available on PSN and XBL for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points). The Akuma DLC for Asura’s Wrath is scheduled to release on May 15th for the same price. It’s worth noting that you can play this DLC even if you haven’t started the main game yet.

Have to agree, too many cut scenes ruined the game for me. Still, a lot of great new characters came out of this, so here’s hoping Asura 2 is better.

I really disliked the demo when I played it but I’ve warmed up to the actual game. It’s different, that’s for sure. My biggest gripe is the screen tearing. You can even see it in the video I recorded. It’s really unacceptable. I hope the game sold enough for a sequel with better gameplay mechanics and improved performance.

I really only noticed that happening in the DLC chapters and not so much the actual game.

Sooooo. . . . Ryu can breath on the Moon? I must get this simply for that reason of Ryu defining the laws of physics

Did you ask that question in Marvel 3 when he was fighting Galactus? I-I’m just curious.

Jake Long

Dude, Ryu’s simply not human.

1) He throws fire out of his hands.
2) He can rotate over 3600 degrees from a standing jump.
3) He can breathe on the moon.
4) He could easily tap a willing Sakura’s ass, yet chooses not to.

I’m going to get this game just for how ridiculous it is.

Little weird how it went to 3D. That’s really where it went south. Still freaking cool though.

I love how relaxed Ryu is about being transport to some different world
“Welp, just have to hadouken some fools and i’ll be right back home”

After fighting through the Marvel, Namco, and Tatsunoku universes, he probably doesn’t even think twice about it anymore. He’s like the Billy Pilgrim of fighting games, except that he’s unstuck in reality instead of time.

The people voting negative on comments are the ones that are easily entertained. I thought this was lame lol.

In a real fight on as a dlc ryu would get raped. I dont care how much crap would make up for him to win. Asura would break his arms before he would say “hado”. they should of did Broly vs Asura. At least it would be an even match up and last longer then 3mins.

Next up, Ryu appears in a megaman game as DLC! Watch Maximilian play as Ryu in Megaman.

There, I fixed it for you. It’s also a pretty good idea to go and look up the terms ‘Cross-sell’ and ‘fanservice’, as they both apply here.

;P A few of us here just got done providing a weekend of nothing but tournament results. I think seeing something fun like this is a nice break from all the serious stuff.

I want to see an all star capcom fighter with this style. It would have Strider, Dante, Virgil, Nero, Ryu, Akuma, Gouken, Makoto,( Ryu( from breath of fire ) Rei,) Teepo, Hayato, Gene, Jedah, Demitri, Wesker! And more Capcom characters from WARZARD like Hauzer! Gill, Asura could be in it. Who else does capcom own that would suit this?

I would rather see them in an actual fighting game so that It would actually be worth playing!

By “actual fighting game” do you mean a 2D fighter because I’m pretty sure you can make a game with this style but still keep the system complex and entertaining for “pro” players or the crybabies that you see on SRK.

It’s just an idea with an innumerable amount of possibilities. But I’m talking about something that’s really over the top and just for fun. I just don’t see why it needs to be an “actual fighter” to be enjoyable? Don’t you guys already have games that have all the things you want? Why does it have to be catered to those type of players all the time? People here are to quick to say something is a bad idea, learn to be more optimistic!

nah

Donovan Harris

Ultimate Ninja Storm killed my optimism for this kind of fighter.

I wouldnt mind seeing these characters in a variety of games. I enjoy stuff like the tales of series, or castlevania. But asura’s wrath isnt very good.

Anonymous

I dunno. This is cool and all, but, after seeing this, I don’t think Asura would add a lot to Marvel vs Capcom.

Just another Akuma, really.

^Your roster is fine for the most part.

BUT HE HAS 8 ARMS!

http://www.facebook.com/silent.cafe Kofi B. Agyeman

i’ve been saying this for literally years. literally. if there was ever a
time to do it, it’d be now. the options are also there with marvel but
they won’t touch it. EX make a sequel to X-MEN COTA; Revenge of the
atom. Since all of those mutants were misplaced from mvc2 and there are a
ton of new favorites, mags and wolvie got priority treatment and x-23,
phoenix got a shot, try out some other characters like daken or lady
deathstrike, give them some of wolvie’s old moves or design a new
archtype. same goes for polaris, havok, scarlet witch, and pietro,
divide the old unused moves and give them something all their own. 6
buttons one on on best two out of three match format

one game all mutants, one with just the marvel ‘normies’ black panther,
daredevil, ms, marvel, blade, namor. those guys. build it closer to mvc2
in terms of layout and combo style/damage scaling, with an tvc partner
system.

and a capcom fighter for the fans vote. For all the capcom other guys.
Nero, Lady, Lucia, Guile, Bison, Cammy, Jin, Captain Commando, Gene, BoF
guys, MH armor sets, the Darkstalkers we all really want and the new
guys who need a shot like Enoch and maybe asura[dude is undisciplined as
fuck] Megaman Zero

Looking back at their past there are so many different systems be it six button, four button, tag assist, 3.5 button, street fighter style with footsies, classic marvel insanity which can be fine tuned today, modern marvel insanity, or even take a cue from the others. Rival schools custom tag attacks, warzards leveling system, Star Gladiators system, maybe even time to step into the 3d proper style with real chaining attacks and sidestepping. It’s possible if they stop focusing on needlessly flashy finish attacks and stick with fundamentals of fighting. 2d or 3d, it’d add much needed flavor and diversity to capcoms current landscape

We’ve posted similar stuff relating to other franchises as well. Random
funny skits for Mortal Kombat and things of that nature. As long as it doesn’t take up the entire front page I don’t see what’s so bad about something like this every once in a while.

So….why in the hell did Capcom go for Sony/Microsoft cameos when they could have just used Asura as a guest character?????

Asura + Ogre sounds like some dirty bullshit team that I’d love to try.

So many quick-time events…but it does look fun, and a great deal for $2.

The Evil Ryu fight reminded me of the DBZ Budokai games on the PS2.

Ok, I know Ryu is one tough cookie but, how did he survive getting rocket punched to the moon? Also, now I want to see Sagat against Asura (thanks to that little theme at the beginning).

It’s the law of crossovers. The mere fact that he has traveled to a new world buffs Ryu relative to the world he is in. So, when he went to the MvC universe, he got buffed to be on par with those fighters. He heads to Asura’s Wrath, he gets buffed to be on par with those characters. Makes a kind of sense to me.
